Match Predictions
According to betting analysts at PARI, Leverkusen comes in as the clear favorite. The odds for a Bayer win are 1.20 — implying an 82% chance of victory. Arminia’s potential miracle is priced at 14.00 (roughly 6%), while a draw after 90 minutes sits at 7.40 (about 12%). To back Bayer to reach the final, you’ll find odds of 1.07, while Arminia’s Cinderella story continuation pays a handsome 9.00.
Bettors aren’t hedging: around 99% of all bets on the outcome are riding on a Leverkusen win. And the expectation? Goals. The over 2.5 goals market is at 1.48, while the under is priced at 2.65. Both teams to score? That’s 2.12. If you think someone’s walking away goalless, you’ll get 1.72.
Historically, Bayer holds the upper hand. Their last meeting in February 2022 ended in a dominant 3–0 win for Leverkusen. A repeat of that scoreline is now offered at 7.00. But the most likely result, according to the bookies, is a solid 2–0 win for the reigning German champions — priced at 6.50. A narrow 1–0 victory is listed at 9.00.
The biggest single wager so far? A cool 500,000 rubles. One bold bettor built a seven-leg accumulator including Bayer (0) at 1.06, chasing a total return at odds of 2.07.
Arminia, meanwhile, has been the fairytale of this year’s tournament. They began their Cup run by knocking out Hannover in Round 1, then went on to shock Bundesliga sides Union Berlin, Freiburg, and Werder Bremen in succession.
Bayer’s path was no cakewalk either. After two early-round wins, Xabi Alonso’s squad pulled off a massive upset in the Round of 16, edging past Bayern Munich 1–0. In the quarter-finals, they survived a thriller against Köln, winning 3–2 in extra time.
Keep an eye on Patrick Schick — the Leverkusen striker leads the tournament’s scoring charts with four goals to his name.
April 1st might be known for pranks, but this match is no joke.
